Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:
Trump’s Middle East Trip
President Donald Trump is about to begin the first major foreign trip of his second term, traveling next week to Saudi Arabia, while also making stops in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, nations which play a key role in mediating conflicts in the region.
His Middle East visit comes at a critical time, as America’s role and influence in the world under his leadership are being tested by the escalating conflict between India and Pakistan, the Israeli government’s controversial moves in Gaza and an end to the war in Ukraine remains elusive.
Joining editor in chief of The Atlantic and moderator, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more:
- Susan Glasser, Staff Writer, The New Yorker
- Asma Khalid, White House Correspondent, NPR and Political Contributor, ABC News
- David Sanger, White House and National Security Correspondent, The New York Times
- Nancy Youssef, National Security Correspondent, The Wall Street Journal
Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, the Yuen Foundation, Sandra and Carl DeLay-Magnuson, Rose Hirschel and Andy Shreeves, Robert and Susan Rosenbaum, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and PBS.
